Twenty-Seven.

Twenty-seven years ago today, I was born, six weeks early.

Twenty-seven. It suddenly sounds very old, even though I'm among the youngest of my friends.

I am twenty-seven with a house.

Twenty-seven with a good, strong marriage to a man I love.

Twenty-seven with a car I own.

I will soon be the mother of two kids, at twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven.

I am also still quite insecure, at twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven with a propensity towards sticking my foot in my mouth.

Twenty-seven with not a clue about what God has for my future.

Twenty-seven and still not sure I'm applying make-up correctly or using adverbs correctly.

Still comparing myself to others, at twenty-seven.

Still thinking my nose is too big, at twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven.

Twenty-seven and still reminding myself I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Twenty-seven with a faith I don't always understand, but always see working in my life.

Twenty-seven, believing in prayer.

Twenty-seven, struggling, striving, learning, growing, changing.

Twenty-seven.

Thankful that God has allowed me to see twenty-seven years.

And here's to the year to come!

  4. Love this post... and I laughed out loud when I read that you think you're nose is too big... I don't think I've ever even noticed your nose, which means that it must be perfectly in proportion with the rest of you love!

    Happy birthday!
